Greeting
from your absent President.
As
some of you know, I have had a chronic shoulder and neck problem this
year and have not been golfing much.
It is getting better but I still have to limit my golfing.
Also my job has gotten in the way somewhat.
I have had to work more than my usual two half days.
Enough excuses why you haven’t seen much of me.
Hopefully after the holidays and getting my son moved to Iceland,
I will be back more regularly.
Now
to the news:
Christmas
Party and tournament
This
event is coming up soon and we will be putting out an email for sign up
soon. It will be held at
Pecan Valley Golf Club this year. It
will be an 8:30 shotgun on Mon., Dec. 15.
It will be a “Best 2 Ball” with ABCD players.
A luncheon will follow at 1:00. The
cost will be $52.00, which includes golf, cart, lunch, prizes and gifts.
($14.00 for the lunch alone.)
There
will also be a sign up and information on the web site.
Web
site
Many
of you are aware of our web site and how it works but many are not.
We have been very fortunate to have Terry Lambert volunteer much
time to setting up and maintaining this site.
It contains so much information and is very easy to access.
He updates it regularly with the weekly winners.
You can also find the schedule of events there and sign up
directly from the web site. For
those who are not familiar all you have to do to get there is go online
and go to www.sawga.org.
Handicaps
As
you know we are a group with flights based on handicaps.
Pat Blair is our handicap chairperson this year.
Each month by the 10th of the month she calls your
respective clubs and gets an updated handicap.
Each member is responsible for reporting all of their scores to
their club and maintaining a current handicap.
We have had an ongoing problem with some of our members’
handicaps not changing over a period of three months or more.
We are aware that some of this is due to the member not being
active but for those who are active and not changing we see this as a
problem. Everyone’s
handicap will fluctuate if even within a small percentage point.
We have decided that in order to address this issue, Pat or Mary
Lucas (as Fri. tournament chair) will contact those whose handicaps do
not change. Please do not
take this as a personal affront. We
are only trying to find out why and assure that your club is accurately
reporting and maintaining your scores.
Directories
Hurrah!
Our directories are finished and ready for distribution.
Diane Murchison has once again done a wonderful job of compiling
the information and getting it to the printer.
We will start distributing them this week.
I will try to get them to someone from the board at each of the
respective clubs so they can get out as soon as possible.
These do not get mailed as it is too expensive so please ask the
board members at your club or come to one of our play days to get your
copy. |
